Am listening to the BBC series on her and she's not exactly easy to sympathise with mind.

I'm glad that I've not kept up chapter and verse with this, because its both grim on one level and sad that a young girl got to where she now is in life. I'm guessing that she's not considered a young offender because some of the offences occurred when she was no longer a young offender. Right now her only "friends" tend to be a mixture of people very much involved in human rights issues and of supporters that tend to be radical in their views. This last group are largely self interested in their own political aims and aspirations for their religion. That might seem a bit of a far fetched statement but I came very close to employing one such individual a matter of weeks ago. Lets just say I was made aware of his views by others (not government/state related) and it became clear that he was very well known to the authorities for his views.

What was the direction of travel when the Canadian asset got involved?

I'm not dismissing it completely. But I'm not assigning any specific importance to it yet either.

There were lots of people making a few quid in the border region, assisting people across the border who wished to join ISIS. The Canadian asset was simply one of those. Therefore, when he became involved, the direction of travel was from Turkey to Syria.

Hmm. So he supplied their personal details to the Canadian embassy, who said nothing to the Turkish or UK authorities, just in case they wished to resettle there at a later date. Aye right.

Are Canada so desperate for people they are happy to take in known terrorist sympathisers?

There's no self interest in this for me. She is a UK citizen and should be treated as such with the rights awarded to her and everyone of us by the state.

Taking away her rights is the thin end of the wedge. It can now be applied to any one of us. Look at the 30s and the rise of the nazis. Subverting the law to deny individuals their legal protections was a key plank in their dictatorship. Nazism didn't start with the concentration camps. That's where it ends!

What legal basis are you asserting this on?

Many of the other high court cases where the judiciary are on the side of the common man, the law is cast aside for common sense. The just stop the oils cases for example is a classic example. Ok the protesters smash the glass which was like bull it proof and bespoke for the bank but the protesters go and bought the centre punch ( some people would not know the meaning these days) and knew how to use it to criminal damage the thick glass. The law judges saw this differently . The judges discharged the case. The McDonald’s two case similarly cost the m Donald’s Two nothing despite losing the trial but cost thre Hamburger giant as Michael Mansfield is a top exert lawyer. Michael fights of those without a voice.
